Could you please help im not sure what it could be..

Which engine do you have? Is that clicking noise a single rather loud clunk each time you turn the ignition switch to "crank"? That has an inexpensive fix.
Measure the battery voltage and let me know what that is. If it is discharged, the likely suspect is the alternator but you would have seen the "volts" gauge dropping or the "Check Gauges" light turn on. The alternator also has an inexpensive fix.
